Ask HN: Log file monitoring tool
11 points by sskates on Nov 28, 2012 | hide | past | favorite | 5 comments
We're looking for a SaaS product that monitors log files on a server and sends an alert if it sees a line containing an error. We'd give it access to the log files on our server and it would periodically check the files we specify.

I remember seeing a bunch being mentioned on HN before but I can't remember the name! Would appreciate any help.



Ratchet.io works well for this. http://ratchet.io/


Check out http://papertrailapp.com. Awesome service!


Not SaaS, but why not simply use logcheck (http://logcheck.org/) ? It's free software, and seems to be doing what you want (check log files against a whitelist of entries, send an email with all lines that don't match)


I tried a bunch and went with logentries because their categorization and graphing fit my specific need. Good product overall but not very polished.


I found two, DataDog and Loggly. Anyone have any experience with them?
